This is a fun video: “Why a 1960 Science Paper Predicted End of Humanity on Nov 13, 2026,” which, as the title states, is a paper from 1960 that predicted the end of the World today. Obviously, by the time I posted this, it hasn't happened (and it has an hour and 36 minutes left to happen, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that). And also for your reading pleasure, it's “It's The End Of The World As We Know It … Again,” a web site that covers the history of failed predictions of world ending events.
